Xbox E3 Week Sale Announced, Includes First Ever Xbox One X Discount

Microsoft will slash prices on Xbox One consoles, games and more to celebrate E3.

In a post on Xbox Wire, Microsoft announced that — from June 7 to 23 — there will be discounts on games, accessories, Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions.

Every Xbox One will be $50 off during this sale, including the Xbox One X, which has never been discounted before. This will bring the Xbox One X to $449, Xbox One S 1 TB bundles to $249, and the 500 GB Xbox One S to $199.

There will be up to 75 percent off certain games and first-time discounts on over 300 games, such as Monster Hunter: World, Assassin's Creed Origins, Sea of Thieves, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. However, if you are looking to pick up Sea of Thieves, you may also want to simply play it via Xbox Game Pass and use Xbox Live Gold with a limited-time introductory offer of $1 for the first month each.

It's also noted that if you head to certain retailers, a Buy 3, Get 3 months offer for Xbox Live Gold and 50 percent off 6 months of Xbox Game Pass will be available as well.

A handful of controllers are also $10 off, although it appears the Xbox One Elite Controller is not a part of this sale. The Xbox Design Lab controllers, however, are $10 off and can be created for $70.
